Coquina, drinking more water might definitely help; how much are you drinking now? It could also be a factor of what you're eating to make up those 2000 calories. Some have problems with dairy, others with cheese alone. I noticed a difference when I took flaxoil daily with a shake.

Exercise will help things along as well; specially weight training - losing fat is easier when you have more muscle mass which burns more calories while you go about your everyday life; and LCing is a great environment in which to build muscle.

Cos Thanks! Not too shabby considering it was 3:30 a.m.! Happy Holidays!
